Apollopnia is one of my favorite places in the world these days, but believe it or not, I've never been to the national park there. We live about a twenty minute drive from there, and one of our favorite things to do to relax is to pick up some sushi, drive out to Apollonia, hike down to the beach, spread out a blanket and have a moonlight picnic. No kids, no house noise, just the sound of the surf and an occasional "pass the wasabi." Thanks to you, and your pictures, I may just have to check the place out in the daytime...

Ilana-Davita - It was extremely hot here over Succot, and after our experience the day before in the, er, "Old Town" [sic], I was worried about spending another day outside in the sun. But YZG correctly predicted that it would be noticeably cooler along the water, and he was right*.

____* Yes, YZG, I suppose you ARE entitled to some minor gloating... :-)

Our Shiputzim

I started this blog as a way to document our home renovations, but B"H the work is basically finished. And so, this has developed into a typical slice-of-life blog - you know, the kind of blog that talks about our kids, food, and our lives here in Israel - albeit with an irrelevant and misleading name.
